Beautiful Vineyards of Sonoma

Napa and Sonoma both the places attract a large crowd of wine lovers.You can visit a variety of Wine making factories here and taste their personal own blend of wines.We visited one among them i.e Benzier Family Vineyards. They took us in a tram over their vineyards and explained their organic wine making methods.

Also they have build a huge cave to store the wines for fermentation.

If you would like to see the hanging grapes then August-September is the best month.Grab a picnic basket and enjoy a outing in these vineyards.
